Movies
It happened that I saw an amzing film many years ago, but I wasn’t able to recall it’s title. I used to use IMDb for lookup and search, but the ratings are sometimes very different compared to my owns AND without a title it is difficult ;-) For this simple reason I started this list … mostly for myself.
My rating schema: money back (correlates approximately to an IMDb score of 0.0-5.5), average (5.5-6.5), above average (6.5-7.5), good (7.5-8.0), very good (8.0-8.5), excellent (8.5-10).

I think you got something wrong with se7en. I can remember you saying this was one of the most awful movies you have ever seen!? Anyway, I think it is excellent. My rating is at least 8 , and this is not just because of Brad Pitt ;-).
Another good movie to add: “The Bourne Identity”.
